Real Justice

Hey John,

I am so excited to announce today that the Real Justice team is endorsing the brilliant, courageous, focused Tahanie Aboushi to be the next District Attorney of Manhattan!

Few DA’s offices in this country have caused more harm, and done more damage, to more people, than the Manhattan DA’s Office.

We not only believe that Tahanie will win this race — we believe she has the perfect mix of character, integrity, experience, and determination to change the Manhattan DA's office from the inside out. Here’s how you can help Tahanie win her primary in June next year and make this happen:

Step 1: Follow Tahanie on Twitter to show your support.

Step 2: Chip in $5 or anything you can to support Tahanie’s campaign and make sure her campaign has the funds to reach out to voters in New York this election.

In 100 years, New York City has had only 4 District Attorneys. That should give you an idea of how consequential this DA race is.

New York is facing a mass incarceration endemic. 443 out of 100,000 people have been put behind bars, disproportionately affecting people of color and on a global scale, New York’s incarceration rates are drastic in comparison.

Tahanie has experienced first hand the destruction that pro-incarceration and anti-immigrant elected officials have caused in communities in Manhattan. When she was just a child, her father was sentenced to 22 years in prison for non-violent crimes. ⁣ So she understands all too clearly the ways our current system’s lack of support undermines the safety of all New Yorkers.

As one of New York’s most outspoken and respected progressive attorneys, Tahanie has shown that she is committed to the fight for fair treatment for all New Yorkers regardless of their background.

Now more than ever we need to work to elect leaders that will dedicate themselves to fighting for the values and change our communities deserve. This is going to be an incredibly expensive and competitive primary election in the lead up until next June. Tahanie can do it — but she is going to need our support.

Will you follow her on Twitter right now so we can show the world that this movement is standing behind Tahanie? And if you’re ready to take the next step, can you make a donation of any amount you can afford to give so that Tahanie’s campaign has the resources they need to compete and win?

Appreciate you,

Shaun
